Hello everyone, I wanted to share my recent success in integrating my Somfy Raffstore with Homematic IP. After some research and experimentation, I managed to set up a seamless system that combines the best of both worlds. Here’s how I did it:
-
Replacing the Somfy Module: I decided to replace the Somfy module with the Homematic IP Jalousieaktor (HmIP-BBL). This allowed me to maintain the existing wall-mounted switches and integrate them into my Homematic IP system.
-
Wind Sensor Integration: The wind sensor was a bit tricky, but I managed to connect it using the HmIP-FCI6. This involved setting up specific thresholds in the Homematic IP app to ensure the raffstore only responds to significant wind changes.
-
Custom Automation: I created a custom automation rule that adjusts the raffstore position based on wind speed. This ensures that my raffstore remains functional without unnecessary movements.
The result? A fully integrated, automated raffstore system that’s both energy-efficient and user-friendly. I’m thrilled with how it turned out and would love to hear about your integration projects too!
